BECOME A NEW FRIEND OF OURS!

A testimonial from Lauren (from NYC) ‘Arianna & Friends is a wonderful company with a wide array of services. My husband and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary (...) in Tuscany. We used Arianna & Friends for two events – private chef in villa and cheese and olive oil tour. Daniella came to our villa and made us a an authentic Italian meal from scratch with items fresh from the farmers market that morning! It was absolutely delicious, but even more wonderful was the company and culture brought to our own villa that evening. Luca took my husband and I on a private tour and tasting of a local EVOO mill and separately a cheese farm where we had an incredible and filling lunch, which included excellent wine! It was so personalized and we truly experienced the life and culture of the Tuscan locals. Can’t wait to go back and we will only book with Arianna & Friends! Looking forward to it…It looks like we’ll be back this summer!!!’
